News

The ongoing NSC task force on Nano-TiO2 Safety Communication was featured in an article by Chemical Watch: Global Risk & Regulation News on potential future reviews of several engineered nanomaterials.

The NSC Training Group within Dissemination has successfully applied for the ‘Common Dissemination Booster’ service from the European Commission. The application was made on behalf of all projects within the NSC and thus all projects will be able to be involved directly within the training programmes of Dissemination capacity building and Dissemination campaign management

The next EU NanoSafety Cluster Scientific Meeting, organised with the kind help of the NanoFASE project, will take place in Athens, Greece in March 22-23 2018. To register for this free event please click here.

Project Ideas

Idea: Limitations of ISATab-Nano and the NanoParticle Ontology

Contact: ?

Description: The WG4 has expressed interest in adopting the ISATab-Nano and NPO standards. At the same time it is acknowledge that the current version may not accomodate for all NSC use cases. It therefore like to explore and document such limitations to support future development and/or contributions to these standards.

Idea: Target Audience

Contact: ?

Description: Databases support users of various kinds. The WG4 should explore the various users that the WG4 should service.

Idea: End Points

Contact: ?

Description: Make an ontology of end points relevant to NSC research, allowing linking of studies. The BioAssay Ontology may be useful here.
